A part that lives outdoors faces sunlight, heat, rain and temperature swings. Without the right material and sealing, some prints fade, become brittle or warp over time. With them, they last.
Start with the right material
Material choice is the first line of defence. UV-stable options such as ASA stand up to sunlight far better than basic PLA, so an outdoor part should start with a material suited to the job.
Design also plays a role, since drainage and sensible wall thickness help a part cope with weather.
Seal for the long term
A protective clear coat shields the surface from UV and moisture and keeps colour looking fresh. Tell us where a part will live and we will combine the right material, design and sealing through our finishing service.
